Why Bristol is a Great City to Get Married In

Last night the fantastically glamorous Goldbrick House hosted a wedding tweet up organised by the Little Wedding Helper and it was a great networking event for Bristol Wedding Suppliers. Loads of local suppliers turned up to sample the free champagne and canapes and make some new Bristol wedding contacts.

It made me realise what a great City Bristol is to get Married in with so many talented and enthusiastic people on your doorstep ready to make sure that you have an amazing Wedding. Kirsten Butler aka the Little Wedding Helper organised the event to allow everyone to put some faces to names we regularly see in our twitter feeds such as Cloggins and West Weddings. Kirsten offers a bespoke wedding, event and marquee styling service to ensure that wedding venues look amazing.

I arrived at about 6:30pm and the event was already in full swing. Katherine from Goldbrick House was on hand to welcome everyone and hand out some delicious canapes. Goldbrick House in situated on Park Street and is a conversion of two Georgian town houses and a Victorian factory. It is now an incredibly stylish "food and drink emporium" that is licenced to hold civil ceremonies. Looking at their wedding pack, I was actually surprised at how affordable a glamorous wedding at Goldbrick House could be as they don't charge venue hire, just a minimum spend that you could easily meet with a reasonably sized reception.

It was lovely to meet Emma Woodhouse, aka Cloggins or "The Wedding Reporter" who offers brides a really original service where she will come along to your wedding and experience it as a guest and then write you a detailed report of the day that you can treasure forever alongside with your photos. Emma is an experienced freelance writer who is currently writing some pieces for Wedding Ideas Magazine.

Speaking of photographers, they were out in full force and it was brilliant to meet so many passionate people including Marie Man, Taylor Barnes, Sam Gibson, Nevil Lane Studio, Proof Photography and Jacqueline Helen. I also met Abi and Lisa from Marry Me in Somerset who have also just launched a photography directory, called Marry Me in a Flash.

I was lucky enough to win a free cut and blow dry and some great L'Oreal hair products from a raffle prize donated by McQueens Hair Design also based on Park Street. Here's some of the people in attendance. Well worth checking out their websites if you are getting married in Bristol or the surrounding areas.
